You are so all over the place it's not funny. So legalize drugs and make alcohol illegal? Then you just have the reverse. And why would we stop meat consumption? I'd turn canibal before I turned vegetarian

Illegal drugs stopped === less police force needed

Now more smoking, or chewing tobacco === farmers loose crops sales,
tobacco industry shuts down

Alcohol consumption stopped === reduced delivery truck drivers, bars and clubs closed

Now more guns === all production stopped, all store sales people laid off

No more meat consumption === all Meat producers loose, farmers stop raising livestock.
Auction houses, and slaughter houses close,

Now more delivered letters === postal people laid off

All coal production stopped === no more deep mines or strip mines,
heavy equipment producers and sellers, loose personal

Not to mention may more dislikes.



Every one of these titles has many people who want these things stopped,
and everyone of the millions of people who work in these types of jobs
will be laid off. ...


Where are you going to put them ? ? ?

You could extrapolate out to thousands of people if not many more.

It is connected with if you remove THIS how many related jobs will be gone.
